Management and curation of data is a growing focus in academic libraries and provides opportunities for librarians to partner with campus colleagues in order to leverage existing data sources, including curriculum vitae analysis, publication citation analysis, institutional faculty records, tenure/promotion records, and records of individual faculty members’ library behaviors, including records of faculty/librarian research collaborations.
